Dr. Sutkin robbed my mother of $1,200. My mother went for a consultation, put down a deposit of $1,200, and was going to get plastic surgery done, however she had an emergency. She had to leave the country due to her mother being ill and she passed away while she was there with her. She obviously had unforeseen expenses and no longer has the money for the surgery. We informed Dr. Sutkin's receptionist about this and asked if it was possible to get the deposit refunded and Dr. Sutkin refused to refund the deposit. Admittedly, my mother did sign something stating the refund was non refundable, but I don't understand how someone could be so heartless. Dr. Sutkin most likely makes a good living and my mother's been saving money to do the surgery for a long time and she had an unexpected emergency. $1,200 is probably nothing to him but a lot to my mother. We were never able to speak to him directly. His receptionist did all the talking for him.

4 yrs ago I had implants and paid for lipo. He created a hematoma which caused my CC and all he offered was in house lift to correct it. No capselectomy! He also conveniently forgot to do my lipo and then offered me the cool sculpting which was painful. Basically he stole my money and tried to get me to pay more to have him fix his issue! I would NEVER send anyone to his office. Super unprofessional! I've since had my breasts fixed and 1000% happy with my new surgeon.

Went to him due to bags under my eyes, based on a friend’s boss’ recommendation. Great talker. Convinced me to get an upper eyelid lift, too. He left me with the whites under the iris showing and the upper eyelids uneven and more feminine. He was dismissive after surgery. Years later I was able to find a surgeon to correct his work and am now on the other doctor’s website as an example of fixing a bad surgery

My lips were disfigured in Dr Howard Sutkin’s office in Los Gatos, CA. The procedure was performed by his nurse Kathleen Nelson RN (on the right). She forced me to remove my permanent make up from whole lip line (it was not my original plan) and she injected not FDA approved chemical remover called “123 tattoo free” into my lips. As a result, whole my lip line turned into fibrous scar tissue which limit my motions and I can’t smile. After this Kathleen Nelson RN ran away and Dr Sutkin said he has nothing to do with this issue. They also stole my medical record and never reveled what was done to me. Nobody apologize or take responsibility for what has happened. Dr Sutkin lied to me about how serious my injury was and provided cover up for his nurse. Be aware if something goes wrong expect nothing but lies, ignorance and cover up.
